1969 L'Heraud Grande Champagne Cognac

A medium copper coloured dry cognac with pronounced aromas of jasmine, dates, raisin, caramel, dried apricot, orange jam, honey, vanilla and touch of pine wood, very complex noses. Water brings out further floral notes but dilutes others. Medium acidity and well integrated alcohol, full bodied as well. On palate it gives quite intense flavours of orange, dates, apricots, bitter almond and vanilla. Fairly long length with apricot and vanilla finish. (94) Good nose with a bit change in flavour on palate. Better not to add any water.

 很精彩的香氣。以複雜性來說是數一數二的。加水後反而溝淡了一些。酒力算強，餘韻亦長，是一枝佳釀，口感豐滿，香料味及乾果味突出，好喝。奇怪的是這酒一加冰或水便溝淡了不少，對酒的表現大打折扣，所以不建議加冰。
